[Video]Scandanavian Christmas Cards with CTMH Art Philosophy!

This double gate fold card looks tricky, but isn't! Don't you love that? Impress friends with your crafting!One of my roommates at the CTMH Convention (Rema) made a card like this and it was amazing - I had to figure out how she did it!Here are some close ups of the card:

Above you can see the card opened up - plenty of room to write a Christmas message.

The card above is a little different than the red stamped one - I added a border and some red stickles (glitter glue). My friend Lisa S. LOVES stickles and tells me that they always enhance a project and she's right! I just get impatient waiting for it to dry...

Love these cards and thanks for the video tutorial! I'll definitely be trying out making cards similar to this. I like the brown stamped card better, only because I like the little extra on the inside of the card. They're both wonderful.

I love them both but I have a thing for gold/red @ Christmas & I honestly thought the brown was gold! LOVE the RED heart as it gives the whole thing just the POP it needed! What a great shaped card for the holidays!!

Boy, that's a hard decision. I like the brown one because it enhances the deer and detail, but I also like the red one because it's more "Christmasy" and Scandinavian. I guess I'll just call it a tie. Thanks for the video instructions. It makes a difficult project much more tempting to make.

Tough decision - but I'll go with the red because it's a Christmas Card and that's the traditional coloring on that card. I have a friend who would love a card like that with the Scandinavian "flavor". Thanks for sharing.Elaine S.

Red stamped because it looks more Christmas-y. I did one like that - the front of the gate card was Santa and Christmas decorations etc. but if you turn it aroundthe Nativity scene is on the back. Since it is made that way you can makeit look two sided. Turned out great and all my kids want one.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this card fold...awesome! I think both cards are great just the way you did them. I would be thrilled with either one in my mailbox ;) It's funny, but both look Scandinavian in either color. I think I'm remembering a brown sweater my brother had...maybe that's why it appeals to me too.Your paper choices are always right on and the stickled heart was the perfect touch!{{hugs}} Beth Anne

Gorgeous card Joy, as always :) Boy, you know I like them both. At first I liked the red one best just because I am such a tradionalist when it comes to Christmas colors (red and green), but after taking a second look, I kinda like the brown one just because of the "extras" plus I like the red heart above the deer. That pop of red I think makes the brown color go with the other colors.

Very cool card! To your question - normally, I'd say red because that's my favorite scrappy/stamping color...but with the reds/greens of the card, I think the brown is a nice contrast. Both versions are great!

Love this card! Just made it as a Congrats on your new house! card. I'll post it in a day or two. Your red stamped house is my fav, but I'm in canada so I won't enter. Just wanted to mention the dimensions of the inside white and brown cardstock layers were transposed. Thanks so much for the awesome inspiration!

Love this card! Can't decide between buying the Artiste or Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (I"m a CTMH consultant too) but this little house cut just about sways me to the A.P.! I love the one stamped with red as is more traditional and I just LOVE red and green for Christmas colors. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome Cricut set!Marilyn at pinkpapercottage@yahoo.com
